Last year I saw this idea to make a wreath out of easter eggs. Well I saw it too late in the season and decided not to make it. I wanted to make this year though, and I'm so glad that I did. It's super easy and pretty cheap. All you need is 4 bags of plastic eggs, ribbon and cardboard.

This is how I made it:

1) I took some sturdy cardboard and cut out a circle

2) Then I added the ribbon to the cardboard

3) Then I glued on the eggs with a glue gun. I did it very randomly. I used brown paint and a toothbrush to speckle the eggs first.

4) I used both regular sized eggs and mini eggs.

5) To fill in the gaps, I glue easter grass everywhere.

6) I then gave the grass a haircut :)

7) I then added a couple more mini eggs on the top and hung it on my door.

So cute! I love it. I have been looking for an easy Easter wreath. I will be showing this off on Random Crafty Georgia Girl. http://randomcraftygagirl.blogspot.comRndmCrftyGAGrl on twitter*send a request to follow*

I TOTALLY wanted to make a wreath JUST like this but when I told my husband about it, he shot the idea down! I was so disappointed that he didn't want me to make one. I'll have to show him yours and see if it changed his mind. Thanks for linking it up!

SO cute! I love it. And I can afford it! ;) Thanks for sharing!BTW, you linked up to my pillow case link party, so I moved you down to the regular EBTKS link party. Sorry for the confusion! Thanks for linking!

Thank you so much for posting this wreath as well as with the how too!! I had been trying to think of something to put on my door that wouldn't break the bank!! When I seen your idea I knew I had found what I was looking for. I think yours still ended up cuter then mine but I made one and I love it hanging on my door. I linked the project back to you!!
